Running a coaching or consulting business means juggling client relationships, payment schedules, and contract terms—all while delivering exceptional service.

#### Built for Service-Based Professionals

Whether you're a business coach, life coach, marketing consultant, or freelance strategist, this template lets you capture essential client information, define milestone-based payment schedules, establish your refund policy, and document contract payment terms—all in one streamlined form.

#### Why Paperform for Coaching & Consulting Businesses

Paperform is designed for SMBs that need flexible, professional forms without the complexity of enterprise software. With built-in payment processing through Stripe, PayPal, and Square, you can collect retainer deposits, set up milestone payments, and even handle recurring billing for ongoing engagements. The doc-style editor lets you create forms that match your brand, while conditional logic ensures clients only see the questions and payment options relevant to their package.

**Automate your client workflows with Stepper:** Once a client submits their retainer agreement, use [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to automatically create their project folder, send a welcome email sequence, add them to your CRM, and schedule your first session—all without lifting a finger. Connect **Papersign** to send the completed agreement for eSignature, creating a legally binding contract that's linked to the original form submission.
